This place is Sharwma perfection. It's always fresh , very plentiful and just perfect. They use great quality ingredients , everything is absolutely delicious and authentic. It's also such a clean and friendly place. My new favorite Sharwma Spot. read more

I had this place bookmarked for a while now. I did not realize how small it was in terms of seating and parking. I got the beef shawarma on shrak and it was delicious, and it was such a huge and hefty portion that I could only manage half for dinner. The rest for a meal the following day. It was flavorful and I was able to select what I wanted as my toppings. I have to return another time and try other proteins... but knowing myself, I may just stick with the same order because it was so good. I would recommend to-go order here. read more

I am hunting.... It is hunting season... Tis' the season of Shawarma... I grew up in Pakistan and shawarma was introduced there around my early teenage years. Since then I have eaten probably 37 million shawarmas. I have eaten all types of them. Chicken, beef, lamb, camel and rabbit. Lately I have been on the mission to find the best chicken and beef shawarma in the DMV. I sadly haven't found any decent beef shawarma yet but I have my top picks for Chicken Shawarma. Haifa Grill has one of my Top 3 chicken Shawarmas. It is massive. Like I am 6'1" and this Shawarma is half my size(sarcasm) but jokes aside at first glance it gives "oh this is great value for my money" But it is also great in taste. The chicken is seasoned well. The toum is hitting all the spots. ALL OF THEM! The pickles and veggies are crisp. The shrak is toasted to crisp and the biggest thing is that the shwarama doesn't feel dry at all. I would definitely recommend this place. The service is great. They have a dining spot outside which might not be ideal for winters. 4.3/5 MUST TRY SPOT! Pro-tip: please don't eat a shawarma in your car. read more

Went here to pick up lunch based on the Instagram recommendation of @yazieatsgood...THANK YOU! As recommended, we got the shawarma on shrak - one chicken, one beef - both with all the trimmings: lettuce, onions covered in sumac, pickle, garlic spread, hummus...there were probably other things, too, but I've forgotten. You can also make your shawarma spicy with a red hot pepper relish. When they are preparing your shawarma you get to pick which items you want (kind of like Chipotle- but MUCH better). Both were absolutely delicious. The meat is delicately spiced and not overcooked- moist and flavorful. We got the combo which comes with fries and a soda. Fries are nothing special so you can skip them because the important thing to know is that these shawarma are HUGE! I could barely eat half of mine. It's a very good value for the price. We were going to try one of their platters and get the mixed grill which comes with rice, but they let us know that takes 15 minutes and we didn't have time to wait. Next time! It's a very small space, maybe 4 tables so it looks like most people get their food to go. The staff are very kind and patiently answered questions. Our shawarma came out pretty quickly, too. I forgot to take pictures- next time! read more

We have been coming to this place for a couple years now and each time we have felt unsafe ordering food because of harassment from aggressive panhandlers who follow you inside the restaurant. They often seem to be drug addled and mentally unstable. It's a shame really, because their sandwich is outstanding. read more

Delicious hidden gem for shawarmas! I am used to getting the shawarmas out in DC so I am happy to find there has been this spot locally that is just as good. I got the chicken shawarma on shrak combo. The shawarma itself is HUGE and cut in half. I could not finish and had the second half for lunch the next day and it was still just as good. Ingredients are fresh and you are able to customize the ingredients you want in your shawarma. Only thing I have to say is the meats themselves lack some flavor. Without the sauces your experience would be different. Instantly regretted not asking for extra garlic sauce. Service is very quick and location has decent indoor and outdoor seating read more

I won't lie, I'm incredibly disappointed with this place. Haifa Grill has been on my hit list for a while given its popularity and recommendations for good Shawarma. Quick service and a homey, humble interior. But, the taste of their food was not what I expected. I've had lots of shawarma in my life and in general love lots of flavor and spice. Their Chicken Shawarma was VERY bland and salty. I was surprised how bland and dry the chicken was. The sauces and veggies made it more palatable, but this was not it. Good, big portion sizes, but not the best Shawarma in the NOVA/DMV area unfortunately. read more

Came by after leaving DC and tried their falafel pita and tabouleh as well as a chicken shawarma on pita w garlic sauce to go. We grabbed drinks on the way out. Both wraps were amazing flavor wise, and the tabouleh was fresh. After you order at the register you are then called by number to customize your order toppings at the counter. I wanted to note though that while in theory that way of ordering works^.. it seemed to really strain the employees serving food given how busy it was this evening (and prob every weekend). The person in front of us was super rude to the man serving toppings/making wraps.. And while he handled it really well, that maybe would not happen if you were only able to specify what could be on the sandwich at the register itself. A lot of kabob/halal spots give you the sandwich options with all toppings included, and if you want otherwise you have to then say what not to add- which may work better here given how amazingly packed they were for a Sunday. read more

Best part of this place is the size of the shawarma. It's enough for two meals, or at least enough to keep you full for most of the day. I'm a pretty plain shawarma guy, my order is chicken, pickles, onions, tahini, and garlic sauce on shrak. And it tastes great every time. I've seen some people complain that it's dry, so here's a little tip, always ask them to add more sauce! read more

Tried Haifa Grill a few times now. The first time around, I tried their sandwich aka shrak. It was massive and worth the price point. The second time around, I just got a bowl to go. The service was very unfriendly and the ingredients did not seem fresh. The chicken shawarma is cut from the rotating grill per order, but a lot of the sides are just sitting there for long periods of time. Their hummus and garlic sauce are probably the top two toppings. They give you a huge portion and pack your sandwich or bowl. They also sell unique drinks that you do not see often. There is a second level where you can eat if you choose to. They also had outdoor seating. They have a small parking lot in front and the spots are very tight. It is located near a busy intersection and getting in and out could be a challenge. read more

Huge portions, reasonable prices! I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice and a side of hummus and pita. The shawarma came with pickles, onion, tomato and a white sauce. It was a little bland so I added hot sauce, but glad to have a healthy meal and enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I ordered delivery so I can't speak to how the restaurant or service in store is, but my food was prepared and delivered quickly. read more

I'm really disappointed. Haifa Grill used to have the best shawarmas in the DMV area (it actually says that right on their carry out bags). Used to. This time, they just lacked flavor. We had both beef and chicken shawarmas: The chicken didn't have enough garlic sauce and the beef tasted like mayonnaise instead of tahini sauce. Maybe it was just a bad day for them. I'll try again later. The baba ganouj was good though. read more

The biggest shawarma wrap I've ever seen! Enough to feed two! Once you select your meat, you pick from a varied selection of veggies. I asked for everything; seasoned onions, dill pickle, tomato, lettuce, etc. Big, tasty, and reasonably priced, that's a winning combination. read more

This place is straight gas. I've never had a shrak before but it was like a thin blanket that wrapped all the food up securely, way better than a pita sandwich which I feel like never holds the food together. The pickles added the perfect tanginess to pull all the flavors together. Both the beef and chicken were very tender and moist, you can't go wrong with either one. I do recommend the shrak over the platter though. Their pita bread formed a perfect pocket and none of it was sticking together. Service was quick and easy, plenty of spacious seating upstairs. read more

Chicken Schwarma sandwich on shrak was amazing!! I thought price was a little steep but it was the right size for 2 people! Great service too read more

My favorite chicken shawarma in the area, by far. Everything is very fresh and you can customize your toppings. The meat is well seasoned and the toum (garlic sauce) is so flavorful. Portions are generous enough to share with a friend or take home leftovers. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

Drove an hour here and was more than satisfied leaving! I ordered the chicken shawarma in shrak with their spicy sauce & hummus, along with all toppings available. The flavor was amazing, portion size is literally for two people so come hungry. Customer service was splendid as well. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!! read more

Driving here put me in a bad mood haha The awkward turns to get into the parking lot and then finding out the parking lot is very small and incomplete... whew, I had to park in the lot next door. I wasn't sure what to expect inside after that fiasco, but wow, i'm glad I made it inside. I got the Chicken Shawarma Shrak, all spreads and toppings included (pickles on the side). This was one of the BEST Chicken Shawarma wraps I've ever had in the area. A lot of places make it too dry, but Haifa's was moist and full of flavor. Very generous in size too. Worth the headache of driving and parking there, I promise you! read more

Tasty chicken shawarma and huge portions! You can choose which fillings you want included in your wrap, I included everything and loved it. The place is super casual and they prepared my shawarma quickly, however it did get busy soon after I got there. The parking lot right outside is also quite small though and can be tricky to park in. read more

Rounded up to 4 stars, due to portion sizes was large. It's about $13-14 for the chicken schwarma (cut into 2 pieces) that they are famous for on shrak bread. They do fill up the chicken schwarma with fresh chicken, and your choice of toppings: we got the garlic sauce (white), hummus, the pickles, lettuce, and tomato. It is a small space inside with only a few tables, and when we came on a Friday night more people walked in for take-out or stood around until a table was ready. We were able to find a table before that small rush and enjoy our food inside. There's not really an ambiance inside; Haifa Grill is definitely a hole-in-the wall you just go for a quick bite / takeout. The food took about 10-15 minutes to be prepared; we added fries and a drink to make it a combo for $3-4 dollars more. Total was about $18 and I tipped a few cash dollars in their jar up front. Overall, I haven't had much schwarma in the area but it was good for the portion size. The two of us split the one schwarma (cut into 2 pieces already) and the fries and were pretty full. It was a little on the dry side, so I would make sure to ask for more sauce next time. They don't have any signs saying what the toppings or sauces are, so it was a guessing game. The person preparing the food didn't communicate clearly with us on what things were, so that's one thing they could improve on. Overall, glad we finally got to try this Palestinian food spot since it was on my list. I'll have to try more spots and come back to compare to support local read more

DELICIOUS. Thus is the only good authentic shawarma spot in the DMV that give a huge portions for good prices! read more

I was in the area for an appointment and got hungry, and this was the first place that popped up when I googled hummus lol. I only ordered hummus and falafel for a light lunch. It was very quick and the people at the counter were very friendly. It was some of the best hummus and falafel I've ever had and for a great price. It was gone in seconds. Will have to try a platter or shawarma when I'm in the area next! read more

I learned about Haifa on FB, and had to go myself on a search for the best chicken Shawarma. Damn, this is the real deal! Yes, it's $13 but it's enough food for lunch and dinner. Wife liked the beef better but I like the more tender chicken. Can't wait to comeback and get the spicy chicken again with everything on it! The pic gives you no perspective on how big that heifer is! read more

Chipotle style option for toppings on your shawarma. Solid food and service, th fresh juices were also great.

The chicken quality is not good. It's a very bad smell and the management is not good.

Haifa has the best chicken shawarma I've had in America probably. It's the perfect amount of crispy and tender. The portion of the sandwich is also massive, 2 adults can easily share one sandwich and be full. No frills, great food, great price. Highly recommend coming to Haifa whenever you're craving middle eastern shawarma read more

The price point isn't bad. I ordered the chicken shawarma on pita. The meat was fairly dry and it didn't have much flavor.

It should be possible for a consistent, long-time customer to request a refund for food tainted with cigarette ash without being treated disrespectfully by these people. I hole the hundreds of dollars in tips I've paid them over the years go to their staff, otherwise I'd demand that money be refunded too. Pathetic. I won't be returning. read more

Haifa Grill offers delicious Palestinian shawarma with generous portions. We went with my husband as we wanted to eat shawarma, We tried the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and fries, and all were excellent, and the size was real big making us giving it an 8.5/10 from us. The place was clean and inviting, but the service could use improvement. Overall, a great experience! read more

It's just ok. I was craving Middle Eastern food and I'm always on the search for hole-in-the-wall places that are unpretentious and so this place caught my eye. I ordered a plate of hummus with shawarma chicken and an ayran. The portion size was good for me since I tend to have a hearty appetite. You get to choose 3 toppings (Chipotle style) aside from the meat and hummus. The hummus was ok...no chickpeas, olive oil or spices and the chicken was super bland and dry. The pita tasted store bought and dry. If you're used to real middle eastern flavors this falls short. On a positive note, this is great value, the ordering process easy, nice sitting area outside, and happy they had ayran. Lastly, there was a constant flow of customers which is usually a good sign. read more

First of all, the service here was absolutely amazing. I ordered the beef shawarma rice platter thinking that it came with hummus and pita, I was not paying attention cause it came with neither. I asked the worker at the front register after I paid and she said it only came in the beef shawarma hummus platter, but ended up just giving me some hummus on the side of my platter and also gave me one pita, which was so nice! The workers were all so nice and awesome. The portion size was also massive!! My husband got the beef shawarma with shrak and I loved it so much! It tasted amazing, I will probably get that instead next time. The service alone was enough for me to give five stars. I would encourage others to visit this restaurant because it is awesome. read more

This is my favorite shawarma place in the DMV. Nothing beats this spot. 100/100 easily

My uncle talked greatly about this place so I thought I would try it. I was told their shawarma is the best ever but sadly I have to disagree. To me, the chicken was not flavorful at all. Even the garlic sauce was not all that flavored. The portions were really big though so that was great, I split it & got full off of my half. It was definitely not the worst but I wouldn't be back tbh. read more

First off, I love me a good Shawarma and I've been to Turkey , so I know a good Shawarma when I see one and Haifa was pretty good. I ordered the Beef Shawarma and it was massive. They loaded the thing up with meat and toppings. The meat itself was tender and juicy, but it did lack some spice and could've used more sauce. I would recommend this place for my fellow Shawarma lovers, but definitely ask for more sauce and spice, but portions are big, so make sure you're hungry. read more

Some of the best Palestinian food in the DMV! I heard about it from a friend but I also saw that it went viral on Tiktok and decided to try it. The meat is savory, ingredients are fresh, and the portions are so big. Half the time I have to save half for later, which is never a problem. They have a spacious upstairs seating venue that can seat a lot of people but is almost always empty. They always have an amazing selection of middle eastern beverages as well. The only thing is that the parking is a little tricky and awkward sometimes. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for good Palestinian food in the DMV. read more

Superb service, sensational food, ambience is vibe worthy. Highly recommended!! Will be returning very soon. Thanks!
